[quote=Anonymous]You can probably make it work.  Are your kids young elem or older elem?  Dad will be around 4 days a week so it's not like they won't see him for weeks on end.

We lived separately on opposite sides of the country for about a year and a half.  DH took a job on the west coast and would fly back to DC on most weekends.  We eventually decided to move for better school options during Covid.  Long story short he lived there with our 10th/11th grader for one year while the rest of the family (12th and 5th grader) stayed back in DC until the senior graduated.  The kids were ok with this even though they only saw Dad a few days a month.  They were teens and tweens who were starting to not want to be around their parents so much so it worked. They were also very self sufficient which helped.

They were used to not seeing Dad much since he worked long hours when we lived in DC.  There were many weeks where he would be at work before they were up and wouldn't be home until after they went to bed so they were used to it.

We are now all (aside from the college kid) in the same city where DH works and it turned out fine.  The kids are loving it.
